ANNUAL REPORT 2004 and distributed some materials related to human rights despite its limited resource and means, the role of the Commission in disseminating human rights education to meet the larger aim of developing human rights culture is a challenging one. During this report period, the situation of human rights has failed to improve much from the previous reports. It has become urgently important for all sides to become highly sensitive to a situation when the overall situation of human rights would become disappointing with the increase of grave violation of human rights like extra-judicial killing, arbitrary oppression, illegal arrests, inhumane torture, disappearances and abductions if the present conflict can be transformed through peaceful means. Suppression or any other means that is beyond the law cannot be a way to control rebellion. A habit of respecting law and human rights must be developed. Therefore, provisions like evaluating the past, taking legal procedures against the guilty and provisions for protecting human rights and humanitarian law will be beneficial for the state. The people are waiting for peaceful resolution of the problem and assurance of the protection of human rights.The Commission is also convinced on this and believes that all sides will implement its recommendations. In this regard, the Commission has already sent to His Majesty’s Government and the CPN (Maoists) a copy of the list of minimum steps they should take for the protection of human rights and respect for human rights principles and international humanitarian law. ❁❁❁ 83
